Re: Congestion?

speed was down from between 64-70mbs to 45-50mbs for about 2 months.
10 minutes ago my internet went a bit silly and when it came back up im now back up to 67mbs
although ping now has gone up a little and includes some jitter

Re: Congestion?

Seemed fine tonight a few lag spikes on Xbox I took multiple speed tests and a few http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ tests all were good.

And now-:
BQM for today -: bit of packet loss but has been ok after 8pm.
@pod000 - And I thought I had issues  Grin

Re: Congestion?

I wish I had those speeds, another day of slow speeds, I am going to use my tethered mobile as at least I get 7 Mbps in stead of my crappy 0.34Mbps, no updates from plusnet either, leaves me wondering if I should of switched only 2 months ago. If only I had taken out the 30 day contract .

Re: Congestion?

@emmanneil
I've just taken a look at your line and can see that you've had a low sync event which temporarily caused your speeds to drop. Things look to have recovered now, can you confirm that this is the case?

Re: Congestion?

@chris it has slightly improved but still only 1.7 rather than the 2.39 I used to get, also my upload speed is capped I think as this is still a paltry 0.32.
Is there any chance I can get adsl2+ I asked for this when I joined and was told that someone would look into this and get back to me as to when/if the twigworth exchange has adsl2+ and if not when BT plan to upgrade it.
2mb is what I used to get when I live din cyprus whose infrastructure is poor at best, surely I can get better speeds that this?

Re: Congestion?

Sorry for jumping in on this post to the original poster,
Here is a print of my speed test
Test Date: Mar 27, 2013 13:44
Connection Type: Wired
Server: Gloucester
Download: 1.75 Mbps
Upload: 0.30 Mbps
Ping: 51 ms
External IP: 146.90.xxx.xxx
And the guys at the beginning thought they had problems, I can only dream of speeds like that

Re: Congestion?

@emmanneil
I'm just getting in touch with our suppliers to try and get your speeds pushed back up.

Re: Congestion?

If you would like your upstream speeds uncapping, you would need <a href="http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/products/max_premium.shtml">Max Premium</a>. I can get that added on for you, but I would advise reading through the FAQ guide first.
Your downstream speeds should improve over the next hour or so.
